Add iView to Portal favorites

Hi,
I need to add some iViews to portal favorites area, that means the portal favorites must be a static list of portal favorites for a group of people.
Is this possible in EP v.7.0?

Hi,
The Portal favorites iView is just a KM navigation iView with layoutset: PortalFavoritesExplorer and that points to the folder: /alias/userhome/<user.id>/favorites.
So you can do with it whatever you like. Copy it, change the folder it points to etc..

How to see the iview in portal favorite

Hi,
It is possible to see the iview in portal favorite without giving content admin role. How to add the iview created in portal to display in portal favorite.
Thanks,
Kundan

Hi,
Your question is not very clear for me....According to my understanding i am replying u.
Portal favourites is itself an iview.
If u want to show some other iview in place of Portal favourites then you need to do some changes in your framework page.
Go to content admin and go to your framework page ---> select Desktop Innner Page
then u can see Portal favourites iview there.
If u want to show some ivew in place of portal favourites, then delete Portal favourites and add the iview which u want to display.

Niki,
The documentation says that
The Portal Favorites iView contains a freely definable list of links for direct access to items that you use regularly. This can include the following:
●     Portal pages and iViews that run as full-page applications
●     Documents, folders, and other items in KM repositories
●     External items, such as Internet pages
So we can't do it for Roles.
For detailed information see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/d609e5803111d5992f00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">Portal Favorites</a>

Change the name from Portal Favorites to Portal Favourites

Hi,
There is a requirement that where ever in Portal, the name of Portal Favorites should be changed to Portal Favourites.
So when I add something to Portal Favorites in Portal, then there we get Organize Entries in the context menu and opening this it will open a pop-up having name as Favorites.
I searched and come to know that this is coming from a folder under KM Content /userhome/<portal-userid>/Favorites.
If I changes the name Favorites to Favourites then it reflects to that corresponding id, but changing from here for every portal-userid will be very difficult.
Can someone tell how we can change on global basis for every portal user.
Regards,
Deep Nain Kundra

Hi there,
The iView called "Favorites" in Content Provided by SAP > End User Content > Standard Portal Users > iViews > com.sap.km.iviews points to a KM folder which you can find in Content Administration > KM Content > root > Entry Points > Favorites. You can change the name of this folder: with Entry Points > Favorites selected choose Folder > Details and then Settings > Properties, set the name to whatever you like and click Save.
Now this isn't 100% effective but if a user accesses the Organize Entries command from the Favorites context menu, they will now see your custom folder name. A preview of the iView will show the same.
What this doesn't do is change the name of the Entry Point, so a user looking under Documents will still see the heading "Favorites". According to SAP Help this can be changed by creating a custom bundle file, but despite following the steps detailed in [Changing Labels and Symbols for Entry Points|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/36/8b6b4066d9bf49e10000000a1550b0/content.htm] I have not had success with this.

Open link from portal favorites

Hi all,
When we add some KM Navigation iView to portal favorites and try to open it from portal favorites link it opened with wrong layoutset (not the same layoutset that declarated in original iView). How can we change it?
Thanks,
Ola

Hi Ola,
we had the same problem, that we want to open the KM Folder in our customized layout and not in the standard user layout.
The only way we found to realize this, was to overwrite the standard user layout with our customized layout.
You will have to decide, if you want to change the standard in this case... a better solution we haven't found

Default Detailed navigation and Portal Favorites naming and sections

Hi,
I want to manipulate the 'Detailed Navigation' and 'Portal Favorites' on left side menu of my manuscreen. I want to rename them and manipulate to add my own iViews fixed iViews under the Portal Fvorites.
Now, I do find the Portal favorites default iView under ortal menu Content provided by SAP - end user content - Standard Portal Roles, but it is an iView, and I can't add iViews to an iView.
I don't find the default Detailed Navigation iView nor page.
Does anyone know how I can change these settings to fit my menu, without having to create a pop-up page?

To fine the Detailed navigation iview:

Portal favorites option does not add the iview or page to portal favourite

Hi All,
When I click on the option button in portal content area after opening a Iview or page, the short cut menu is showing the option 'Add to Portal Favorites' . Clicking on 'Add to Portal Favorites' is not adding the iview or pages to the portal favourites section below the detailed navigation.
I checked the Page Title Bar Iview(com.sap.portal.pageToolbar) property in default framework page, to know whether 'Show Add to Portal Favourites' option is set to 'Yes', it was not set to 'Yes' and then I set the property to 'Yes' After this I tried adding to portal favorites but the functions are not getting added.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

How can i add a new link to Portal favorites?

Hi,
I have created a portal application and configured it to a porta frame work page byy adding iViews and portal pages.
I would like to display an iView as a link in the portal favorites. I have added it to portal favorites as related link. But nothing is displayed in the portal favorites when i logged in as application user.
How can i add a link to the created iView just like the "DeveloperContent" link shown in portal favorites when we login as portal administrator?
Your help and suggestions solicited...
Best regards,
Sudheesh

Hi Sudheesh,
The Related Links option is for Content Administrators to add links that they think will be useful for a certain page or iView...an end user can't add their own links to the Related Links iView. Also, you don't need Knowledge Management installed in the Portal for the Related Links iView to work. Also, Related Links will be available only on the pages/iViews that the Content Administrator has created them.
Read more about Related Links here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/1d37600aa111d7b84700047582c9f7/frameset.htm
Portal Favorites is a nice option for end users to decide which iViews or pages they would like to be available from every Portal page.
To open new iViews/pages in a new window, rather than in the current Content Area, adjust the Workprotect mode of the portal (either the user can do it for their preference or the Administrator can do it for everyone):

Portal favorites not displaying the iview.

Hi Team,
We have a home role with a welcome page which is the first role to be displayed to every user logged in to portal.
Now we have enabled the option "Add to Portal favorites" to the portal objects. So when a report (BI / Bo report) is added to the portal favorites we are able to see the report added to the portal favorites iview. But when we try to access the report directly from portal favorites the link is navigating to the exact report path but not displaying the report instead it is displaying the welcome page of the HOME role.
When i try to add Identity management iview of the User admin to the portal favorites and try to aceess it from Portal favorites iview, it navigates to the identity management page but the welcome page is displayed instead of the identity management iview.
Can you please let me know a fix for this.

Bharat

Hi Team,
Any ideas on this issue will be very helpful

Add to portal favorites works only in User-language english

Hi,
i've got a litte problem with the funktion "add to portal favorites".
We use our portal to publish BW-Reports (BW7.0). Our development-language is english.
Both system (BW and EP) are configured in english.
In the portal (EP 7.0) we have the problem, that the "add to portal favorites" funktion works fine when the user-language is english. When the user-language is german only a few iviews can be added to the favorites....
Does anyone have an idee where my bug is?
Christian

Hi Hema,
Try this.
Change the iView properties, these forces all BI reports to fire in EN,
The setting in the iView of Application Parameters and set this to u201CLanguage=ENu201D.Then this Overrides the local setting of the Portal and forces a BW report to fire in EN.
try this link :- Query in Portal User-Language-Independent

IViews saved in Portal favorites - start of these shows no data

Hi experts,
we have WebQueries that are executed in the Protal. After I get the output of the query I save the view under the portal favorites (Save as). This will be done correct. Unfortunately, if I click on the Portal favorite link I get no output.
The screen is complete empty. It seems the execution of the view runs in a endless loop.
Could you give me information to solve the problem and to get the view with all data ,please?
Many thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Marco

In the favourites you are saving a link to start the iView, not the results of running the iView. Let me give another example. If you run an iView that starts an SAP transaction and you enter some data and use the execute button, you see a report or whatever. Using the "Add to portal favourites" only adds the option to start the transaction - you still need to enter your values etc and use execute,
Try saving the portal favourite link before running the query and see what happens.

Can't add to portal favorites with "&" in the name field

Hi there
Interesting problem which has been identified this morning ... it appears that certain iviews cannot be added to the portal favorites, and upon closer inspection, it appears that those iviews all have the "&" character in the name field.
For example, we have an iview with the name of "SAA013 Summary of Sales & Gross Margin vs Approved Plan". As you can see, its quite long, so anything to save some space.
If I remove the & and replace with "and", then I can add to portal favorites.
Has anyone else come across this and found an alternate solution? I could probably get away with convincing the client to allow "and" to be inserted, but then there's quite a few iviews that will have to be renamed, which is a rather tedious task.
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi,
For some reason the note wasn't released.
Now it is released.
Its content:
Symptoms:
